Technology@lemmy.world•Quick post about AI-free FireFox Based Browsers (Keep your Addons and avoid the Bloat)English
20·1 month agoI’ll try to give an out-of-the-loop answer to this, if that helps. Concerning “AI” tools, I think the chunk of people who don’t want it included in the browser on any level come in one or both of two forms. One is a moral opposition – for example, a pro-environmental or pro-artist stance. I don’t think those need much explanation, but feel free to say otherwise.
The other is in my opinion is in response to exhaustion. Pro-“AI” features have proven themselves to be untrustworthy at nearly every turn with thoughtless or downright irresponsible implementations. A worthwhile use-case is the exception rather than the norm and It’s tiring to have to constantly check if this time I want it on or not. As a result of opt-in-by-default changes to privacy policies or account settings, my trust in any site or app publishing an “AI” implementation has been broken and it’s nice to have options I don’t have to worry about wherever I can get them. I found it irritatingly tone-deaf that Mozilla wasn’t considering a kill-switch with their first swing at this.
If it seems unreasonable or hard-to-understand, I think taking a step back and looking at the broader software industry rather than just Mozilla will help.

5·1 month agoI’m not sure – when I hear “vocal fry” I think of that open-throated low engagement of the vocal cords that makes a deeper sounding rapid popping noise. Were you referring to the same?

Technology@lemmy.world•The Latest Windows 11 Update Gets Rid of the Start Menu and ExplorerEnglish
5·2 months agoThe fact that the explorer can regularly completely freeze up nowadays or flat out crash is actually insane.
This was literally the trigger for my very first Linux experience, it’s fucking asinine that something so fundamental to the UX could perform so poorly for such an extended period of time.
I love having to reboot the explorer.exe process in task manager because my taskbar search stops working.
Is that the same thing as an IPO?

The best way for that to happen would be Obama meeting with Zelensky and Putin, brokering an unmitigated success of a peace deal somehow, receiving the Nobel prize for that specifically, then next time he sees Trump giving him a, “You’re right, Don; that was easy!” with double finger guns
